I have been working with a group focusing on self care and one of the exercises last week was to set a goal to reward yourself for no reason. I thought about several possibilities. I discarded my first choice, buying flowers because I just adopted an affectionate playful 6 yr old tabby cat Eli, who apparently drinks the water from vases and accidentally knocks them over. One of my favorite authors just published a new book, but I realized I would really benefit from listening to a progressive relaxation tape since I have noticed a lot of tension in my body lately that doesn't release as easily and effortlessly as it used to when I was in the habit of regular conscious relaxation.

So I went into my archives and decided I would reward myself with a long guided visualization I recorded a couple of years ago. I plan to listen to it daily for a week then move on to the shorter version. I actually hope it's like any physical exercise..... My body's cell memory and neural pathways will reengage quickly and I will ooooozzzze relaxation.

I decided I would share it as this weeks blog so you can release anxiety and stress and achieve total body relaxation. As I guide you into a blissful state where you can connect with your divine self, you will be so relaxed you will want to bask in the glorious delight of not even wanting to move.

This total relaxation is based on what I taught in prenatal classes with some additions of neurobiology I learned along the way and from my friend and colleague, clinical hypnotist, Joy Borthwick.

This is the first of three recordings. This one is very detailed, relaxing your body in tiny sections. During the second you will relax your body in larger sections and in the last you will learn to achieve total body relaxation in 1 to 3 breaths

Helpful HintsFind a comfortable place to lay down and cover yourself with a blanket, as you will become cool as you relax. You may want to listen with earphones to achieve a comfortable sound levelI found taking in a deep breath, holding it for 10 seconds and releasing it quickly on the areas that were extra tense helped intensify the relaxation. Practice this daily for the coming week. On day 5 -7 when I instruct you to tense and area, merely think of the area as you breathe in and relax it as you breathe out. If you are unable to achieve as deep a relaxation go back to tensing as you breathe in and relaxing as you breathe out.

Summer is upon us in the northern hemisphere. This year the Solstice occurs June 20 9:24 PM pacific time. 4:24 am UTC . And abundance of Succulent fruit are starting to ripen. Strawberry socials are being held and people are luxuriating in the warmth and power of bright sunny days (somewhere I’m sure. We’ve even had a couple of warm ones in the Pacific Northwest.)

There are many ways to celebrate the solstice, from thanking Mother Earth for the abundance she provides, to diving into the metaphysical meanings and aligning with the power that expands and moves us into highest frequency.Solstice is a great time to connect with the earth; mindfully receiving what she offers, taking action to show your love and respect for her, being aware to live in harmony with all who inhabit this great planet. It is also time to connect with the sun and remember the ancient ones who celebrated its power to warm us and enhance the growth of the crops.

As I have written on past blogs for summer solstice, in the wheel of the year, it’s the time when we nurture the seeds of the visions we planted in the spring. We can align with the suns power to increase the fertility of these seeds so they grow into what’s longing to emerge from our deep wild core. Our creativity is inspired and explodes into awemazing outputs with the power of solar energy. If you live in the southern hemisphere you can begin to design and incubate what you wish to happen in the spring.

I have several blog posts with information about summer and winter solstices traditions and ideas for celebration and ceremony that you can find by clicking on the topics on the left sidebar of the original article.This particular solstice occurs at an auspicious time since the galaxy is still aligned with the new energy of the golden age of consciousness until December 2018. The Source information that is coming in is changing our energy and physical bodies, providing us with new perspectives, opening us to new realities where tremendous shifts into highest consciousness living are potentiated. The earth is being imbued with high frequency cosmic light which can be used to leap forward in achieving great success in your current projects. See and know yourself as the Great Being that you are as you use this momentum.Some of these new perspectives allow us the opportunity to realize the illusions we’ve agreed to live with in our 3D world. We no longer need to live with dualities that result in separation. Instead we can realize our similarities and see the divine sparks within. Be open to new ways of looking at what’s happening in the world. Instead of looking outward for guidance we can learn to tap into and trust out inner knowing and wisdom. Pay attention to the high frequency images and messages you receive during the intense energy of this solstice

Make the most of this Solstice

This solstice take some time to be alone in nature. Contemplate the idea that you are becoming more than a human being. Play with the possibilities that we can create the reality of our choice. Feel into the newness and see if you notice brighter colours in nature, enhanced senses of sight, smell, taste and hearing. What if your evolution involves new senses? What if there are new energy codes coming in that enhance your illumination? Accept that this isn’t your imagination. Go even deeper and align with the cosmic flow of the suns’ power, even if it’s not sunny. Go above the clouds to the great sun and connect with its source. Ask questions about the big picture and know the answers will come, perhaps not in that moment, perhaps in signs and symbols as you go about your life. A particular song on the radio, an ad on the bus, a book that you randomly open and read… Have fun!

No matter if you are celebrating the peak of the suns’ power in the northern hemisphere or the rebirth of the sun in the southern hemisphere, consciously tune in to your highest self by getting into the frequency of bliss and gratitude. Align with the flow of newest source energy and download the upgrades to your operating system that are available if you are open and willing to receive. Allow the power of this solstice to nurture expand and amplify your creative activities according to the wheel of the annual cycle. This will ensure you are allied with and supported in your growth by the universe as you support the unfoldment of this golden age of consciousness by being the greatest You you can BE.

​Does it feel as if something big is going to happen? Are you feeling the energy to move forward with your plans and dreams? If you’ve been incubating an idea now is an excellent time to launch it. If you are still in the planning stages, pick one idea to act on and focus on it. The energy is ripe for providing abundance as your authentic greatest Divine Self if you are ready to receive it. ​Celestially, there is a full mini-moon today according to Space.com where the moon is the farthest away from earth that it will be all year. It won’t appear smaller to the naked eye, but you may be feeling its effects are less than usual. Jupiter goes direct June 9 after having been retrograde for 4 months, hence the feeling of expansion, flowing forward and reaping the benefits of your actions when you trust your inherent skills and abilities. Other celestial happenings support anything you are putting in place in the next few days will likely stand the test of time.

Personally I have been having dreams about people dying and I know others who have shared the same thing! As you likely know that often signifies a death and rebirth experience…. Death to old patterns and programs, shifts in relationships and in your perception of life. For me I felt the energy rippling back thru time to when the pattern was most intensely laid into my cell memory and it totally revised the perceptions I’d had since, creating new neural pathways. ​When working in consciousness this week I was again struck by the new form of energy that is alivening the earth and all beings who are open to a new way of perceiving life. It really is a whole new substance- I’m calling it not-energy for lack of a better word. I encourage you to ensure you are connected to your greatest divine being that you got to know last week and feel into this new not-energy to sense the difference and play with its potential as you also tune into the celestial frequencies potential that you can choose to mix in with it.

Allow yourself to unleash your full power as your Divine Self to create your reality, not blasting the world with it but doing it with grace.

So reflect on your new limitless opportunities and allow them to take expanded form in this dimension as you go about your week in Divine appreciation and action. Focus on what you want to be and what you want to see in our world. Soleira Green received an insight although we are “seeing intermittent incidences that are horrible to our sensibilities, in the grand scheme of things” the higher conscious energy we are putting into the shift is keeping the world moving forward. So know deep within that it is turning out and Zing your knowing into the world aware that we are indeed moving into the golden age of consciousness.

​ Its been 3 years this month that I created the Divine You Blog. I'm also celebrating my birthday today! Its going to be a busy one, so I've reviewed some of my past blogs and found one to revise and share today.

Recently I've been working with people who want fabulator buddies to support their turning out personal and professional projects. One of my offerings is having them unleash their full power, something that is a rare opportunity for truly big consciousness players. Part of it involves getting to really know and connect with their greatest Self.

​ Connection is a key aspect of living as the Divine You. When you have a strong sense of connection to yourself,others,and the greater universe you understand at a heart, cellular and quantum level that you are not only One with everything, You are All That IS. You are the divine spark that ignites consciousness by radiating love, light, energy and moreness. You awaken life to the awesome awareness of its boundless abilities.

I believe when you are on your spiritual path there comes a time when you naturally turn inward to your own Divine Self, your inner wisdom. I began to do this more frequently when writing the book, and that process resulted in my advancing quickly on my spiritual path. I'll reveal how I do this later in the blog.

The basic tips I provided in my book were designed for people who were awakening to the awareness that there was more to life than eating, sleeping, working and playing. I'm including an overview of them here as a starting point. If you have been connecting with yourself on this basic level then scroll down to discover some ways to connect with your Divine Self.

Basic Connecting with Your Inner SelfConnecting with your inner self, begins with the process of checking in, being aware of what’s going on in your body–mind, emotions and intuition. Connect with the cells the bloodstream and the organs. You might also notice some signs of being in higher vibration, such as feeling expanded in your heart area. Are your body’s signs related to positive thoughts or are they connected to a limited belief? Are you connecting the current situation with a past one and re-experiencing those old emotions? Checking in gives you an opportunity to notice how draining your story is and whether you are in higher or lower vibration energy.

Connecting is quick and easy when you know how. It becomes an automatic process. Here are the steps to practice until it becomes as natural as brushing your teeth.

1. Be AwareBeing aware is one of the most powerful things you can do if you want to live a divine life. When you are aware - you are awakened. When you are awakened you can’t go back to sleep (choose to be unconscious again). Have you ever noticed how the word beware is actually be (a)ware? It’s not really a warning! You might as well choose to go forward along your path, because you really can’t go back. The flame within has been stoked. When you are aware, you think about choosing actions that are for the greatest and highest good of all involved. When you consciously set that intention your actions will be guided when you check in. 2. Check In Internally

Take three deep breaths. This allows you to think more clearly and access the bodies natural chemicals which uplift your vibrational frequency.

Ask yourself, ‘what is happening inside me at this moment.’ You might notice physical changes first. Your heart might be pounding; your throat might be dry. Your pupils may be larger. Mentally you might find it hard to concentrate, your mind might be drawn to one thing. You might feel blissful as if all life is perfect.

Decide what is the emotion you might be experiencing? If you had the signs above, you might validate that you are involved in a budding romance!

Connecting With Your Divine SelfBeing in a relationship with your Divine Self , is a magnificent phenomenomI would actually suggest you schedule at least a half hour each week to go on a date with the Divine You. Spend some time and get to know your Divine Self. Here are some helpful hints on how to start. Get Into a Blissful State.

Breathe,

Think of something that makes you feel ecstatic or extremely grateful so you are in the highest possible frequency.

Feel your heart expand,

Feel the energy zinging thru all your cells.

Experience the freedom and ability to access all energy and information.

Go Into your Deep Wild Core

Identify the place deep within where your Divine spark ignites your passion. You can feel your torroidal energy flowing up thru and around you and connecting with the omniversal energy. Notice where the power of creation is highest. For me its between the area many people identify as their 2nd and 3rd chakras, but between the spine and midline.

Energize that core with a lightning bolt of energy, feel it explode like a firework or if you prefer, gently feed the spark, with the tinder of multihued love and light and Allness.

Observe the Divine You Emerge and embrace her with a welcoming hug.

Expand Your Field

Feel yourself expand beyond your physicality, go into the cosmic field of timelessness.

Find a delightful place where you can communicate with your Divine Self, getting to know your authentic being.

Feel the unique energy of the Divine You.

What do you really like?

What is really important to you?

What nurtures You?

Invite an image of your greatest Divine Being to come to you. At one time I saw myself as a regal queen of the universe. Now I am a brilliant white omniversal light. This image will offer a quick access point when you want to connect to that great creative ability. By doing this often you will be establishing cell memory and laying down neural pathways in high frequency.

When you date your Divine Greater Self have a conversation abut what next steps you would ​love to do?

What message would you like to share with your nearest and dearest? What message do you have for the world?

Experience just Being with your Divinity with no expectations.

Merge with your Divine Self

When you feel this encounter is complete, invite the Divine You on your next extended date

then merge with your Divine Self and live as ONE within.

Live each moment as the Divine You and instantly reconnect with your Divine Self if you loose touch and slip into old programs.
